Welcome!
Welcome to the Fall 2008 section of English 345: Practicum in Teaching Writing, or as I’ll almost certainly refer to it, the Teaching Seminar.
On this blog you’ll find the course syllabus, course calendar (listing readings, special events and assignment due dates), resources for teaching composition and rhetoric, and a steady stream of composition- and teaching-related materials happening around the world and on the Web.
I’ll post materials here for you to read for our in-class discussions, so check this page every few days to stay current.
Finally, while I won’t ask you to post here about your classes or the details of your teaching experiences (I don’t think this is the right format or venue for that), if you have questions about assignments or want to respond to any of the posts I put up here, feel free to do so!
Oh, and just to clarify: everything below this post is from last year’s section. You’re welcome to read it, but I’m not sure how relevant it’ll be for you. Just so you know.
